STATUS_FLT_INVALID_CONTEXT_REGISTRATION

STATUS_FLT_INVALID_CONTEXT_REGISTRATION is a registration-time contract error. The context registration supplied to Filter Manager contains an invalid parameter, so the driver cannot rely on that context model becoming active.

Audit the context table as a unit: supported context type, pool/residency flags, size, cleanup routine, and terminator must agree with the driver version and the allocation calls that follow. This differs from STATUS_FLT_CONTEXT_ALLOCATION_NOT_FOUND, which is a later request for a context type that had no usable registered definition.

Before retrying registration

  • Make sure the loaded binary and its headers target the intended WDK interface.
  • Check conditional compilation that changes context entries between builds.
  • Abort normal initialization cleanly rather than continuing with an invalid filter handle.
